Beneath the surface: Spatial and temporal trends in water quality and its impacts on algal community composition in the Albemarle Sound, North Carolina

These files contain data from our research on the interaction between land use, water quality, and algal community composition in the Albemarle Sound, NC. Datasets include data on average water quality across all study sites, water quality data collected over two months for a subset of sites, precipitation in one of the study counties, total algal cell counts, standardized cell counts, standardized algal cell biovolume, and relative biovolume. The two R files contain the code used to analyze these data.
